From guidance documentation Practicalities The Framework will enable tutors to see how their students should be: • using the library • locating information • evaluating what they find • using and communicating it appropriately at each level of the course. It will provide a benchmark for discussions between the tutor and the Faculty Librarian, who can help to introduce and develop the skills listed in the Framework.

From guidance documentation Aim To ensure that: • the Information Literacy Framework reflects the IL requirements of CCi staff and students • it is cascaded and applied consistently to all departments and Schools within the Faculty

Desirable to help meet a key strategic aim: “To develop information literate graduates well able to exploit information for employment and citizenship as well as academic work” The Framework will provide equitable access to the tools to achieve this, enabling students to see that there are more than simply textbooks on the information landscape Desirable in that it could enhance the view of learning resources within the National Student Survey, thus preventing further slippage in our learning resources score

So what’s happened since LC? Promotion of UPLift: Core skills went live in August Seeking feedback on UPLift Focus group to adapt the framework to use as a tool to develop training sessions to ensure staff feel comfortable working with students in this time of change

Staff Development Framework The aim of the focus group was: to clarify and identify future skills sessions for different groups of library staff in order to support the information literacy framework. If we are expecting our students to be information literate, we need to ensure that our staff are fully skilled too, particularly in the changing world of new technologies.

Staff Development Framework 8 training sessions have been developed directly from grouping the skills on the framework: All Library Staff • Wiki Way • The Library Website • Using the Library • Beyond Books Enquiries staff • Using the Internet Successfully • The Reference Enquiry – What do our users really want? • Using Key Library Resources Effectively • Using Google Scholar and Key Databases Effectively

So what happens next? Staff framework – role out the training programme and evaluate it Keep the framework up-to-date, for instance, as new technologies emerge Student Framework – Evaluate it Develop the Developing and Advancing skills sections accordingly Promote the good work within the University and externally
